Nice selection of foods and snacks. Ordering can be confusing at times, sometimes they take your hot-food order at the kitchen area, sometimes you have to order it from the coffee-island area.

Phenomenal place with unique style food that’s very tasty.Dietary restrictions: No peanuts on the hot food lineKid-friendliness: Good place for kids too
Just when you think you've been to the worst Elephants, the LO one takes the cake. No service, and extremely efficient staff. Food is not really good enough for them to be like that. One step above a Burger King

One of the best delis I've been to in the area. Excellent food and plenty of choices. Be sure to try the french fries and the barbecue pulled pork sandwich, they've been out of the barbecued pulled pork last few times I've stopped by should tell you how popular it is.Parking: Parking can be difficult to find at times depending on time of day and the spots are kind of small.

Very weird. Needs to be rethought. Food seems to have dipped in quality. Service was just okay. Pricey and not much value.

We loved the candy store/deli vibe going on. The Elephants Cure soup was delicious. I expected it to have a more ginger flavor so it was more like regular chicken soup. To make it stand out I'd punch up the ginger and lemongrass. ;-) My mother in law wanted the buffalo cauliflower wrap but they were sold out so she had the heated caprese sandwich instead. She liked it. Hubby and I shared the fish and chips and were shocked to see 3 tiny strips of fish over the mound of fries. I'm not used to fish being served in the same size as mozzarella sticks or fries. Very disappointed in that. It tasted good, just wasn't very much fish for the price. Lastly I ordered an earl grey macaron and it was heavenly.

This location needs a quality control. Espresso drinks were the biggest problem. Tasted terrible, even though we are stumptown lovers and steamed milk was just too watery and not properly steamed. The problem probably is the lack of a proper barista. Food didnt feel fresh. Lacks quality but looks like other locations throughout

It is a very simple decor place but with upscale charm. The food is excellent. I tried the Italian sandwich heated with melted cheese and all the veggies. The flavor was mild for Italian, but the spicy Italian meat clearly jumps out at you. The menu has a very wide assortment of choices, and I hear the burgers are first rate here also. I definitely will be back and recommend this as a great place to eat at or take out.

Great food. Great service. Nice festive decorations and comfortable food court. A bit expensive for what it serves, though.Wheelchair accessibility: Somewhat okay
I was pleasantly greeted and listened to. I needed comfort food for an ailing parent. The suggested soup hit the spot. This Elephants is a small boutique. Perfect for my needs and I highly recommend.

Elephant's has been a nice addition to Lake Oswego and Mercato Village area. The space is nice with outdoor seating. You could go for sandwiches, a meal, or even cater your Thanksgiving dinner.You could go for some treats like cookies and pastries.You could go for little gifts / knick knacksYou could go for a new bottle of wine to take to a friend's houseYou could go for some salad bar take home items or pre-cooked items to heat up at homeI mainly go for a cup of coffee on the way home. They also have some happy hour drinks.Friendly staff.Rewards points (you get points linked to your credit card) could be a little easier to use (or know how many points you have) Definitely worth a visit!

I love their food, and it's always very good. However, I have celiacs disease and when I go there and ask that the food preparers wash their hands and change gloves before handling my food, they always become very combative and rude to me. I've had cashiers argue with me about my own dietary restrictions, saying things like "They're not going to put their hand in your food, you'll be fine" and I've ever had several eye rolls and audible groans of irritation. This all has been very frustrating as the company advertises gluten free food as a large feature of their menu, but I'm always very scared to go there as I'm treated very poorly when I do. I'd love to eat there more often, but I just don't feel comfortable eating somewhere where the staff is not even willing to make simple accommodations for a severe medical condition.

A pleasant surprise! The variety of sandwiches, hot or cold, are amazing. There are so many different types of food to choose between it is hard to decide what sounds best. You order and pay and are called when it's ready which was a short wait. You do have to bus your own table when done but that isn't a problem. I'll be going back soon!
